The Sixty-third Legislature adjourned
last evening after a busy session of seven
ty-two days, one Of the Longest sessions on
record. The amount of work which
crowded upon the legislature was very
heavy, and much of it was very important.
Strict attention has been paid to business.
Unnecessary discussion has been avoided
as much as possible. The presiding Off
GERS OF the Senate and House and the
business committees deserve great
credit for the despatch with which the
business has been transacted. With the re.
suits there will of course be some
dissatisfaction, but on the whole the
Sixtv-third Legislature has made an ex-
cellent record and the members are en-
titled to the thanks of their constituents
whom they will soon meet at their several
homes.
